Directions: You are a sage and you will teach your classmates a part of ancient India's history. The four parts (groups) are...
Group 1: The Mauryan Empire (page 162-163, 166)
Group 2: The Gupta Empire (page 164-165)
Group 3: Indian Achievements- Religious Art & Sanskrit Literature (page 167-169)
Group 4: Indian Achievements- Scientific Advances (page 170-171)
Each part has (or might have) pictures, illustrations, maps, dates, vocabulary words, and important people. Your job as a sage is to become an expert on your part so you will be able to comfortably and confidently teach others. Remember that if you don't understand the information, you won't be able to teach others properly. Follow these steps to become a great sage:
Steps
Read all the information on the pages you are responsible for. Don't just read the main parts, look at the other information such as maps or diagrams or pictures.
Take notes in your notebook and answer the Reading Check question after each section to make sure you understand the information. You also have to answer the questions about your section from page 176 (section 4 or 5).
Decide how you are going to present the information to your students. Will you just talk about the information (this can be boring) or will you use visuals or give a slideshow presentation (this can be more interesting)? Remember that your students have not read the information and are counting on you to teach them in an interesting and educational way.
How will you check if your students understood the information? Will you make up questions to ask them? What else will you do? Will you ask your students to create something that shows their understanding? Think about how you are taught at school and the activities you do in your classes.
Assignment 4-4Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page. 1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation?
I was Sudra. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why?
My favorite part was that it was kind of fun to feel how Sudra's life. Because we live very wealthy, and there is no slaves in this world, so it felt new to do this kind of job. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why?
Part when I had to obey to crazy laws, and had to listen to strange orders. Crazy laws like you can't stand up unless higher level said so, made me angry because if you can't stand you can't almost do any thing. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not?
I think it is not fair, because if higher level says "Go die" then you really need to die, but you can't say anything, and you could even look into it's face. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not?
Yes. Because if there is no classes, civilization will be destroyed because there is no laws, and rulers.
Assignment 4-1Source: IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpgDirections: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page:In the 1990's, satellite pictures revealed an ancient, dried riverbed located in India's present-day Thar Desert. Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient Sarasvati River. The Sarasvati lay east of the Indus River and generally followed the same course, originating in the Himalaya mountains and emptying into the Arabian Sea. Geologists believe that the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati evolved into the dry, hot desert that exists today. Early Indian agricultural settlements arose in the Indus-Sarasvati river region at least as far back as 6500 B.C.E. Like many other ancient peoples, the early Indians settled by rivers. They settled primarily on the banks of the Sarasvati River as well as along the banks of the Indus River. These rivers provided the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and the land near the rivers was fertile and excellent for growing crops. The rivers also provided the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations. Archeologists have found artifacts from the Indus-Sarasvati civilization - such as carved seals - in Mesopotamia's Sumer. These discoveries have led scholars to believe that the early Indians traded with Mesopotamia, possibly by traveling in ships down the Indus and Sarasvati rivers to the Arabian Sea and then west to Sumer and other locations. After the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E., the Indus-Sarasvati Indians moved to more habitable areas, such as the fertile banks of the Ganga river further east. Archeological evidence shows, however, that people settled by the Ganga River as far back as 5000 B.C.E. Questions: 1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? A=We have labeled the important places (for etc. Thar Desert). 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? A=I can't see Sarasvati River
3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. A=I think because Indus River and Sarasvati River were the best place for settlements because they had plenty of water, and it was excellent spot to grow crops. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. A=Okay 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River?A=They settled to Ganga River because Sarasvati River was actually dried out. Now, there is Thar Desert on place where Sarasvati River used to be.

Assignment 4-1 Source: IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page: In the 1990's, satellite pictures revealed an ancient, dried riverbed located in India's present-day Thar Desert. Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient Sarasvati River. The Sarasvati lay east of the Indus River and generally followed the same course, originating in the Himalaya mountains and emptying into the Arabian Sea. Geologists believe that the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati evolved into the dry, hot desert that exists today. Early Indian agricultural settlements arose in the Indus-Sarasvati river region at least as far back as 6500 B.C.E. Like many other ancient peoples, the early Indians settled by rivers. They settled primarily on the banks of the Sarasvati River as well as along the banks of the Indus River. These rivers provided the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and the land near the rivers was fertile and excellent for growing crops. The rivers also provided the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations. Archeologists have found artifacts from the Indus-Sarasvati civilization - such as carved seals - in Mesopotamia's Sumer. These discoveries have led scholars to believe that the early Indians traded with Mesopotamia, possibly by traveling in ships down the Indus and Sarasvati rivers to the Arabian Sea and then west to Sumer and other locations. After the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E., the Indus-Sarasvati Indians moved to more habitable areas, such as the fertile banks of the Ganga river further east. Archeological evidence shows, however, that people settled by the Ganga River as far back as 5000 B.C.E. Questions: 1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? A=We have labeled the important places (for etc. Thar Desert). 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? A=I can't see Sarasvati River
3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. A=I think because Indus River and Sarasvati River were the best place for settlements because they had plenty of water, and it was excellent spot to grow crops. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. A=Okay 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River?A=They settled to Ganga River because Sarasvati River was actually dried out. Now, there is Thar Desert on place where Sarasvati River used to be.
